Coach Ravi Shastri also looks at the game positively still says that the game is still ‘wide open’
It is extremely unfortunate how a player like Ravichandran Ashwin, such a talented spin bowler, who can be of so much value to the squad hasn’t still got a game.
Speaking of the pitch at the Oval, batsman Dinesh Kartik feels the need for India to add Ashwin to the squad.
